AYERS, Robena Shirley (nee Lowe)
January 21, 1932 – Austin, Manitoba
December 9, 2015 – Calgary, Alberta
We sadly announce the death of our mother Shirley on December 9, 2015 at the age of 83.
Born on the family farm near Austin, Manitoba, Shirley excelled at academics and was eventually awarded a scholarship to attend the University of Manitoba where she studied Science (Class of 1953). While at U of M, Shirley met an aspiring medical student, Thomas Ayers. They married in 1954 and began a nomadic life together that lasted 50 years. After university Shirley taught briefly then became a lab technician for the Canadian Red Cross. Later, she was a farmer, beekeeper and bookkeeper. Shirley was a firm believer in giving back to her community through volunteerism. She was also an avid supporter of the Arts.
Shirley leaves behind her children Gordon (Deb), Catherine (Len), Christopher (Sarah) and Leslie as well as seven grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and three sisters Ella Jedel, Phyllis Leslie and Barbara Lowe. She was predeceased by her husband Tom and infant son Douglas, parents, and brothers.
